Post 20 unread books from your Classics List.
Next week a random number will be selected by one of the lovely hosts at The Classics Club...and that's the book you read next month!Easy and fun!
I've spent some time going through fellow spinners to match my numbers to one of their books (or authors) so I will hopefully be reading my book (or the same author at least) with one other CC'er! The ones in red are direct book/author matches, the rest are author matches.

This is a great list! I haven't read most of these books. I'm doing The Classics Club as well, and will have my list up Friday. I needed this event to get me back to reading Classics! :)
ReplyDeleteMe too. I've been reading the 1Q84 trilogy this past month or so which has kept me from the classics!
DeleteAngle of Repose is really good. The Way We Live Now is BRILLIANT, I've never read an 800 page book so fast. I could not stop reading it, I kept sneaking off to my room to squeeze in "just one more chapter"!!! It got me completely hooked on Trollope.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that before about Trollope which is why he's on my list...I'm hoping to get completely hooked too!!
DeleteThis is a fun idea. I have to get my list together. For your sake I hope they pick #8. I Capture the Castle is such a good book!
ReplyDeleteThe Master and Margarita! I go in the fangirl mode anytime I see anyone planning to or reading it. It is such a brilliant, diverse, funny book, and yet it does not show up in people's lists as often as some other pieces do. Now I really hope it'll be number 12 ;)
ReplyDeleteFrom your list, I have read Anne Frank and Beloved, and loved both! Especially Beloved, it's a remarkable reading, and in a certain level, shocking. Now I'm looking forward to read Song of Solomon and Bluest Eye.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the spin! :)
You have some wonderful titles on your list. I've just read The Good Soldier and loved it.
ReplyDeleteYou have really great list in there, I even haven't read or known those authors, from your list, I'm looking forward to read Anne Frank and Toni Morrison this year too.
ReplyDeleteOoh, fingers crossed for #8 or #12 - they're both ace though very, very different. I am a huge fan of The Master and Margarita though, it's so complex and polished. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's neat!...I think the only book I have in common with your list, though, is The Return of the Native. All the best!! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat list but not a one on mine. Interesting idea to link up with others, too.
